Artists Octave Marsal and Théo de Gueltzl will show off their skills during live sessions, including utilizing a "drawing machine" that showcases their creative talents.

The French luxury house originated as a bridle and harness company in 1837 and launched the first Hermès scarf in 1937. The carré, French for "square," was made from raw silk from China and spun into yarn before being screen-printed. The scarf quickly caught on and became an iconic style staple, adorning the collars of everyone from Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn to Queen Elizabeth II. Currently, there are more than 1,200 Hermès scarf designs in existence and can take up to six months to produce.
